What is happening with ND?

It feels like this community is dying. It has now been 180 days since the last products were released - it feels like there is no hype because there are virtually no releases. u/pretty-chill recently said the new bottles are 1-3 months out - if 3 months, and assuming the fiber is released the same day as the new bottles, that would be at least 9 month since the last release.
Are we simply not going to see new releases in the future at the rate we have in the past?

Yes it's an australian company, but I get it from KavaSociety, which is based in New Zealand, cause it ends up cheaper than ordering directly from R&P's website.
If you ever actually test their kavas, It would make me really happy if you'd think of me and share the results. Maybe I'd reconsider my choices if it actually turns out to be too unclean to my taste. Maybe it would justify going back to your extract instead.
Do you have any idea when that new facility is supposed to be operational?
Where did you order that flash-frozen express-shipped kava? I'd be very interested in trying it. Cheaper than a trip to pacific islands!

I tried to order from their Australian site, and it wouldn't let me. However, I did make an order from The Kava Society site. They were out of a couple that were in stock on the Australian one, but I will test what I got after it arrives.

From the posts I have seen, they were getting close around Christmas, so I would imagine sometime soon. They are a bit strange, and really hard to pin down, but I will try to have my team reengage with them to get details. They sometimes just completely ignore emails or attempts at communication... which is not uncommon for people living in Vanuatu, to be honest.
Pu'u O Hoku Ranch is who I usually get the fresh kava from. Root Of Happiness has it sometimes, but it is out of stock most of the time. With Pu'u O Hoku Ranch, you don't select chemotypes/cultivars. You just get what you get for the time of year it is. I've had some interesting rare ones from them, but it is the luck of the draw if you are going to get them. You might be able to email them and ask what time of year is best to order for certain types.
